Tho Wonderful Foat of u Darky Who Can
Drink Gallons of Water.
"Here's a man that can drink more water
than any person in the United States,"
said wellknown sporting man, as he
pushed stout, we'll proportioned colored
fellow into the Cincinnati Enquirer Office
''I'n back him for big money!
''Do you want that put in as q chal-

Eyes, do, and am ready to make it good
any time anybody finds man that he
thinks can beat him. Why, this fellow can
drink a gallon of ice water ever hour in the
day, and feel none the worse for it. That
is not all either. He can keep it on his
stomach as long as he wants to, and when
ready can without the slightest trouble ex-
pei it from his mouth"
A large tin bucket, OF at least three
quarts capacity, was produced. 1t was
filled to overfowing with ice water. The
colored man put his mouth to the rim, and,
without once turning his head, drained
it to the bottom. He then unbuttoned
his vest, and the bucket was again filed.
Again he emptied 1t, only stopping
once or twice to loosen his vest to make
room in his stomach for the immense load
OF water. The aquatic fend then did a

that a slop-bucket was given him. He got
down on his knees in front of it, and the
water came from his mouth in streams.
At first it REQUIRED only the slightest
effort, but as he progressed he seemed to
have more difflculty in making the water
rise in his throat at his bidding. It was
then that he took hold of one ear, and by
twisting it in much the same manner that
faucet is turned he managed to bring up
stream after stream Of water. In this way
he worked fully three minutes, and it was
not long until he had expelled from his
stomach every bit of water he had drunk.

A rnll of Manna in Turkey.

Mr.. Cole, of Bitlis, missionary of the
American Board in eastern Turkey, in
describing a journey from Harpoot to
Bitls, says:
1--WE travelled for four days through
region where had newly fallen remark
able deposit of heavenly bread, as the
natives sometimes call it-manna. There
were extensive forests of scrubby oaks,
and most of the deposit was on the leaves
Thousands of the poor peasants, men,
women and children, were out upon the
plains gathering the sweet substance.
Some of them plunge into kettles of
boiling water the newly cut branches OF
the oaks, which washes off the deposit
until the water becomes so sweet as to re-
mind the Yankee of a yeritable sugaring
oil in the old Granite State as he takes
sips of it. Other companies of natives
NAV be seen vigorously beating with
sticks the branches, that from having
been spread on the ground have so dried
that the glis,ening crystals fall readily
upon the carpet spread to receive them.
The CRYSTALS are separated from the pieces
of leaves by sieve, and then the mama
is pressed into cakes for use. The mama
is in great demand among these Oriental
Christians. As we We're travelling through
rather dry region the article came in
play for our plain repasts.

Mummies in Trade.

The mummy trade was supported by
various classes of the community, for
artists declared that mummy powder
beaten up with oil, gave richer tones of
brown than any other substance, and
modern perfumers found means of pre-
pairing the perfumes and spices found in
side the bodies, so as to make them ex-
ceedingly attractive to the ladies. Paper
manufacturers found that the wrappings
of the mummies could be converted into
coarse paper for the use of grocers, and
the cloth and rags were sometimes used
as clothing-at least, so we are told by
a traveller of the twelfth century.
Is it not pitiful to think that all the
skill so layishly expended by the sages
of ancient Egypt in rendering their bod
les indestuctible, should, Ffter 5000
years, end in this! And, in truth, the
mummies thus dealt with had less
reason to complain of their lot than the
multitude which were broken up and
sole at so much per ton to fertilize the
fields of far-distant and Insignificant
islet peopled by barbarians !-NiReteenth

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
t5itkIind Eucumbers.

A contributor to the New York World
says that the following is an excellent
recipe for picking cucumbers: Wash the
cucumbers clean, make good brine and
pour it scalding hot over them aud let
stand three hours. To one gallon Of
vinegar add piece of alum as large as a
hickory nut, let it get scalding hot, put
the cucumbers in and let them remain
fifteen minutes, then take them out and
throw away the vinegar. Now take a
gallon of fresh vinegar and add red pep
pers cut up; add also cinnamon, cloves,
white mustard seed and horse radish, If
you like, with one half teacupful of
sugar and a little alum; let this also
come to scald; put the pickles in, let
them scald, then seal up in glass jars.
Be particular to use good apple vinegar
and the pickles will keep as long as you
want them to. To heighten the green
color a harmless way is to line the Kettle
in which the cucumbers are sealed with
cabbage leaves and lay leaves over the
top,
